So, I'm currently thinking on switching from stock to a custom ROM, and this is one of the biggest questions for me right now.
I have got used to the fingerprint navigation gestures and I think they're great, so I would like to know if you people know of a ROM that has this feature or if there is at least an app that can replicate them in the exact same way.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm also looking for suggestions of which ROM to switch to, I'm just looking for something stable enough, with great features, but closest to stock as possible. All suggestions except Lineage OS are welcome. Thanks again.

Switch to AOKP ROM. It has that FP Gesture. And Everyother rom has that feature.

So you're saying all roms have the feature, but AOKP is the best (or the suggestion you would give to me) ?
What are the things you think are better on AOKP than on Stock, or how would you compare them?
Btw, would you mind uploading or sharing some pictures of AOKP? Like settings, SystemUI tuner, demo mode, additional settings for the rom, notifications panel, etc... ??
I checked the rom thread but the pictures there are basically useless for me. Thanks in advance.

Lineage OS is great, it has fingerprint gestures, Motorola actions (twist, chop etc.) and plenty of other features to enhance your G5 P.

I decided to give it a try. It has some inconsistencies and their configuration app looks really bad. I went with AOSPExtended, and currently loving it.

Lineage OS has inconsistent colors in settings, I have requested them to fix it too many times, and they just ignore the issue when all they have to do is change a line of code. I'm not ever going to use Lineage OS again.

I used to multi-task by opening two apps at the same time by splitting the screen using the stock rom - TW's multi-window feature. I missed it when I was trying custom roms. Just wondering if we have other options or alternative. Thanks a lot.

Nop.
You can try YouTube popup or other apps that have mods for it. Just another gimmick feature for cm lovers as most of us on it do not care about these gimmicks. And cm is built from aosp and doesn't include anything related to tw framework.
yes there's one!

there are few Xposed modules like XMultiWindow, XFloating Window which I used when I was in CM11.
But those weren't 100% perfect though. give them a try if those modules are compatible in Lollipop
Sorry, but I did a bit of thread cleaning. Please just try and answer the question at hand please. No reason to take pot shots at other users!
Thanks!
Coming from Samsung and Sony where there was a big difference are all Roms basically the same base on the X Style. Are there differences that I should be aware of?
Thanks
Edit Title should say AOSP!

I'd say the only reason to go cutom ROM on this phone would be customization. The stock ROM is pretty reliable, fast, and easy on the battery. Especially if you start tuning up the custom kernels how you like them.
Stock doesn't feel like it's dragging a frickin boat anchor or god awful at memory management like on a Samsung. This phone doesn't have an ugly, laggy vendor skin. With MM (and root) you can use RRO layers to theme it - no custom ROM required. I've run custom ROMs for years because...Samsung. I'm kind of tired of flaky bluetooth, FCs, and stuff that just doesn't quite work right but is better than Touchwiz.
The only thing I'd really like to have that custom ROMs make available would be double tap status bar to sleep, status bar brightness slider, and notification led; most everything else honestly goes in the stuff I don't use / forget about category (well...slim recents would be nice too). You could tackle most of that with XPosed too, but that brings its own baggage. I've tried out a few of the custom ROM offerings, and for now I keep going back to stock. They're good, but not good enough for me to give up that stock stability when stock is so close to pure AOSP. We have Multirom too, so that makes test driving multiple ROMs really easy.
As for AOSP vs. CM, I'm pretty sure all the custom ROMs you'll find here have a CM base. You can find Broken for this phone too, and it usually uses an AOSP-CAF base. I haven't actually checked Broken out yet.

Thanks for the reply... I think I'm more concerned about flashing the wrong kernel.
For example I'm used to say flashing a Stock kernel on my Z2 Sony ROM, I could opt for CM Rom and know I need CM kernel. This difference seem so much more blurred here on the Moto X Style.
Also for example we have BlissPure, PureBliss, FrakenClark and Stock optimised [@VadimTk] there doesn't seem to be an easy way of knowing which ROMs they can be flashed on.
I'm new to Moto's so learning fast!
Frankenclark and vadim's are stock.
Bliss is for cm base.
The frankenclark dev dirtyhank has been bringing some great features lately, and hashbang has been picking them up and baking them into his aicp builds too.

I've tried that with Nova, but you have to double tap blank space on a screen, not an app or widget. I actually have swipe up mapped to screen off with Nova because that seems to work anywhere. I agree it's a pretty good substitute.
I think I could get everything I want/need with stock and xposed. I'll maybe root this weekend and see how I on with rooted stock mm...

Coming from Samsung to Motorola my only complaint really about stock is missing features that I just wouldn't expect to be missing. The two that stick out most for me is the lack of a number row on the stock keyboard and a lack of an interface for a clipboard for copy and paste. Obviously a lot of these things can be supplemented with apps and mods but that kinda defeats the purpose of having a stock experience.
Edit: Oh and no option for battery percent in the status bar but I found a trick to enable that without any modifications.

Sorry, xposed IS needed for centre clock AFAIK...
I personally hate CM. Ever since my first Android phone I've always avoided it. I tried BlissROM and wasn't happy with it. I haven't used an AOSP ROM for any phone since my MyTouch4G. The ROM I'm currently using is TruePureX, and it's been going great. It's stock, but without bloat and a few added features. Then I add Xposed and GravityBox and it's perfect.

Hello XDA users and developers.
Any recomendations on what ROM(s) to try out for that Nexus experience on a OnePlus 2?
Also can I get provided with PROS and CONS of said ROM regarding that NEXUS/PIXEL experience??
Thanks in advance !

Beginner question.
What is the difference between a ROM being official and another one being unofficial?
I thought it'd be stability issues.

Unofficial means that the dev team doesn't support that device but instead someone else unrelated to that team develops roms for that device by using the source codes from the original team, after asking for permission, of course.
So, in case of any queries, you can't go to the team, instead, go to the dev developing the unofficial rom.
Follow up question:
ROM with no "slow charging" message displayed while charging?
or is it just the nature of the hardware on the OnePlus 2?

I used pure nexus and found AOSP Extended to be much better in terms of features and stability. Here are the things that made me change from PURE to AOSPEX:
-Google play store crashed a lot.
-Netflix can't be installed.
-some apps weren't compatible.
-No led customization options.
-modified pixel boot animation.
-slow fingerprint sensor.
-It's still on beta (AOSPEX It's stable)
-Not official.

-Yes it does. But the one in pure nexus has a better wallpaper selector (if you really care about that)
The one thing i wish i could change in AOSP EXTENDED is to remove the huge AOSPE logo from the device settings sidebar. But that's just me.

I was able to install Netflix on my case for Pure Nexus. Also, the one thing I am not liking on AOSP is a bug on Snapchat.
Volume bars not accurate with actual volume.

-Oh i was able to install Netflix as well, the problem comes when you open the app and it shows a message saying that ¨the app is not compatible with your device.¨ This did not happen on AOSPE.

Hey guys, the one thing I liked about the stock ROM was that I could make the screen really dark and really bright. It's much more limited on the AOSP ROMs I've tried. Is there any ROM that gives me more control over brightness?
its the way they designed android pie which is stupid af. also tested it on my friends android one device its the same as the custom roms on lavender.

But brightness levels have nothing to do with skinning, no? If Xiaomi could change it, so could any other dev maybe?
My other two gripes with MIUI are the stupid notification behaviour and lack of colored music notifications + album art as background (yes that's important!) ?.
is there a fix?

I feel the album art as background too, but i prefer to stay on MIUI for better stability overall, plus i got really used to the MIUI skin so i don't feel like changing.

Also, what is the best place to suggest / discuss implementing changes to MIUI? The official forums seem either dead or I get generic replies and little views.

While we're talking - does anyone else have the issue where 4G doesn't reconnect after calls? Sometimes it does after a longer while, but it's much quicker to enable/disable airplane more to get it to reconnect. I actually remember having a similar issue while on the stock ROM too.
I know there are roms with this feature, but the ones I've tried (HAVOC-OS, SkyDragon, and I think OmniRom) have this feature, but it's the lag that drives me crazy.
I'm looking for a rom that has this buttery smooth gestures feature.
Lag with the gestures? Most of the roms out there are using the same gesture-system, I hope that answers your question.

You're talking about the fact that they don't have a live floating app window that pulls away from the edges of the screen with your finger.... Yeah honestly you're not going to find that on any custom ROM, not Pie anyhow, however I will tell you Android 10 gets damn close. Maybe give LOS 17 a shot, problem is it's brand new so not everything is going to work 100%.
